Packed with villains, victims, and heroes, Stained with Blood and Tears recounts the story of what has been called the "equal opportunity" lynchings of Will "Froggie" James, who was black, and Henry Salzner, a white man, in the rowdy river town of Cairo, Illinois, on November 11, 1909. This book is the first to focus on one of the most infamous nights of lynching in the history of the United States, when about one thousand men and women were transformed into a murderous mob.
